Visitors to Wellington and parked outside the Aero Club today included this Partenavia P68B, ZK-LAL, registered to Air Manawatu of Palmerston North.
The second visitor is something you don't see around Wellington so often - a Piper PA25-235 Pawnee, ZK-CIQ, registered to a Blenheim address. Awesome!
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
— Helen Keller, at age 74, on flight around the world, news reports of 5 February 1955

A trip to Masterton: The Lancair and other civil types
After yesterday's horrible weather, today dawned fine - sunshine and light winds. Awesome!
I was out at the Aero Club and was privileged to be able to have a ride over to Masterton in a Neico Aviation Lancair 320, ZK-VDQ [a very descriptive rego if you ask me...!]. With a 180 knot cruise it took no time at all to get to Masterton [or back]. It was an awesome flight :-).
Photos in this post are the Lancair, and some of the other local aircraft that I spotted. My next post will show the range of [mostly] World War One aircraft that were sitting or flying around.
Top to bottom are:
Neico Aviation Lancair 320, ZK-VDQ
Vans RV3, ZK-WHO
Piper PA25-235 Pawnee, ZK-SUG
Tecnam P2002 Sierra, ZK-MVT
